Born of shadows, steeped in spellwork, and baptized in reverb — GhostTongue is the Southern rock exorcism you didn’t know you needed.
Out of the ruins of Melonheadman, a cult favorite known for cosmic stage shows and underground anthems like Crowman and Boogie City, came a new voice — rawer, deeper, stranger. Ghost Tongue is not just a band; it’s a summoning.
It began with Savs, a haunted guitar-slinger and voice-channeler, who once stood on stage with the real firebrands of glam rock — Mott the Hoople’s own Ariel Bender — and brought that thunder back across the veil. His voice carries both the grit of the Southern highway and the echo of something ancient scratching from beyond the veil.
Ghost Tongue’s sound drips with Southern soul and stadium fire, fused with the burnt incense of psychedelic ritual. Think: if Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Doors, and Black Sabbath met in a dive bar built on cursed land. There are hints of glam, gospel, and guitar-slinging chaos, but always something unsettling and beautiful threading through — a voice from somewhere else.
Playing our own brand of original songs, plus we can't forget that we play some of the best songs of Mott the Hoople, Mott (1975/76 when Nigel Benjamin was on Vocals) Bad Company and anything else we like to put our Tongue twist on.
